Riola Frost fallout before season

[Herbie]

That whole puking thing was bullshit. I don't recall anyone puking and if they did it wasn't noticeable.

Another bullshit story was Frost coaching OL. Not once was he ever in their position group during their indy work, team, etc. Meetings I don't know about.

Idk man. Do I need to explain to you how rumors work?

Exactly. Why Frost chose to portray it like that was one of the oddest things I've seen a coach say trying to illustrate the guys are working hard or making some comparison from how they were working to how they are now.

247 podcast said that Frost vouched for Raiola to Matt Rhule.

Schaefer went in dry on the hire. Lol

On twitter? Can you post here?

I’m not saying these assistants aren’t good, I just have more faith in Matt Rhule. As much as we want to say Frosts staff was JV, it’s hard to be a quality assistant or look like a quality assistant if the man in charge has as many problems as it is rumored Frost did. You can’t overcome that from the man in charge. I’ll give Rhule the benefit of the doubt.

It's on the Husker247 podcast. But to summarize....how do you sit at the podium and say it starts up front and then retain the worst assistant coach who didn't make a single o linemen better last year.

Now, FWIW I don't think that's completely fair. Hixson did get better and you can't blame Raiola for having to put Turner Corcoran at LT, Nouili for being bad a cheating etc etc.

But he also wasn't completely off base in saying this is a tough sell to the Husker fan base.

The other thing that was surprising on that podcast is the talk about the old staff and how bad they were instate. One coach didn't even know a high school existed in Omaha that has had multiple d1 kids including one that was in that coach's position room. Why don't they tell some of this before the coach's all get canned?

Not only did they not tell stuff like that, they actively censored stuff perceived as 'anti-Frost' on the 247 board while catering to the Frost-loving mongos with sunshine and rainbows

Do you think it's because they will lose access if they are critical? College head football coaches are pretty much dictators in their small college town bubbles.

I am not sure? He is being critical now of the Rhule hires. Frost was beyond reproach with basically every "media" member. Although Frost was a little bitch and blames everyone else for everything so Frost probably would have banned their access.

They probably know Rhule is a true professional and will not be a petty little bitch like Frost.

I think he got that confused with his previous nights bender and puking in an alley with his buddies.
Frost: “Donnie hold my hand while I puke”
Stranger: “who the fuck is Donnie”
Frost: “our Oline is gonna be so good. Look at all this vomit. “

There is pretty clearly a different set of rules for covering non-Nebraska HC’s.

Though Bo and Frost might have just been thin skinned bitches

I thought Pieper got better as the year went on. The unit still wasn't obviously good. You could also see noticeable changes in their sets after Frost was canned.

When it comes to football, I take what Schaefer says with a grain of salt. They got really isn’tan Xs and Os guy at all, let alone an authority on offensive line play. Often the opposite of what he says usually comes to fruition, so this is great news for the o-line.

I assume most media members know very little about football schematics and techniques. There are a few exceptions.

This is why I don’t fault football coaches when they get pissed at stupid questions from reporters.

I like when they go full on, I'll show you why you're stupid mode and go in great explicit detail so they know "Oh fuck, I don't know what I'm talking about."

Pretty sure Jalen Hurts did that recently. It was great.

I think Cooper Kupp did it as well.

Grain of salt is good but what I like about Schaefer is he readily admits his basic knowledge on OL scheme and (based on what I’ve seen) eats his crow when served.

Very rarely do you get the Deab “things are fluid, we didn’t know yada yada yada” from Schaef.

I think his criticisms are valid. How many free rushers did we see, poor technique, inability to pickup even the most basic of pass rushes.

But Rhule obviously sees something with Donny, I’m interested to know what it was.

I think someone said they had some philosophical differences which is weird because Frost hired Uncle Donny. You wouldn't think the worst coach in Nebraska history would have paid so little attention to a minor detail like fundamentally different beliefs about effective offensive line play

Very weird. Isn't that the reason he fired Austin? Then before the season starts he finds out he dosen't agree with the philosophy of the guy he hired as Austin's replacement either? Seems like that would be something you'd cover in the job interview.
